late Interior
Seward Alaska Dee ' 1— That
“times do change” would be the men-
tal comments of many eerly gold
prospectors who faced hardship and
death almost daily in thetr early
trips into the interior of Alaska were
they to make the trip-again today
Over the trails which formerly car-
ried "mushers” and “sourdoughs” in
their race to the new gold fields now
run two ribbons of steel and over
them government operated Pullman
trains contrasting strangely with the
almost virgin wilderness surrounding
the larger portion of the right of
way
“Oldtimers” are accustoming them-
selves to the new order -of things
some gladly some grudgingly All
admit the new railroad running be-
tween Seward and Anchorage on the
coastAe Fairbanks -and Nenana in the
interior is an improvement over the
old order
- Many make but half a concession
to this new step in progress At a
roadhouse in the old days a “rausher”
would hang his wet socks on the stove
over night and place his boots under-
neath Now for the accommodation
of hia guests the porter hangs wires
over the heaters in the day coaeheo
from which are suspended tho foot
gesr of the passengers
An occasional Indian gives the
white man’s “wagon” a trial and sur-
renders a prime beaver akin for a
berth This la oftimea accompanied
by cries from nearby sleepers for the
porter to remove tho unaromatic oc-
cupant Tho train carries n lunch counter
diner with ntoola the price being
etoet 3 9 percent more than in the
average Alaskan restaurant
